This persuasive technique is called appeal to authority.

Appeal to authority is a persuasive technique where the speaker relies on the credibility of another person or event to suport their own argument. It is often considered a fallacy because the speaker depends on the "authority"instead of presenting their own evidence.

Example:

"A commercial claims that <u>3 out of 4 dentists</u> would choose this particular brand of toothpaste for their own families to use."

In this statement, the dentists are the authority the argument depends on.

Simplify the expression
bonufazy [111]
When you're simplifying equations, you have to collect the like terms (the similar ones, eg- fractions would be like terms, and so would letters).
When you're simplifying, you also have to take note of the operation before the equation.
1) Firstly, collect the like terms of M (M and -4M). As M comes before -4M, you have to add -4M to M. As -4M is a negative, this overwrites the addition, and this becomes M-4M. This then gives you -3M. The same applies to the fractions, as you have -1/6 + 5/6, you have to add 5/6 to -1/6, and this gives you 4/6, or 2/3 simplified. Therefore, you put these together- and this gives you -3M + 4/6, however, you normally have a negative number second, so one this has been rearranged, this gives you 4/6-3m.

2). Same applies to this one, you also have to collect the like terms of W. 2.3W and -3W. You simply have to subtract -3W from 2.3W, and this gives you -0.7W. You now have to collect the numbers, and you have -7 and 8. 8 is a positive, therefore, you have to add 8 to -7, giving you 1. Therefore, when you collect the like terms, this gives you -0.7W+1. As aforementioned, you cannot have a negative first, so one this is rearranged, this gives you 1-0.7W

Hope this helps :)
